my sister is planning on getting married within the next few months.her jw husband committed adultery and left her when their son was 7 weeks old.after getting a scriptural divorce she began a friendship with a "worldly" man and now this friendship has grown to a soon-to-be marriage.
this man studied with the jw's for a while but could see right through them found too many of their teachings didn't make sense so he stopped studying.he's made his stand with my sister and told her she can still attend meetings if she wants to.he's also a good worker and seems to really love the kids.he's not perfect but no worse than many jw husbands.
anyways,the elders pulled my dad aside on tuesday night and told him he could(could????!@#*?
Grace: that is so sad. I can't believe how much tunnel vision a person can have.
I think I thought of a solution while doing the dishes. Theocratic warfare. Her dad should simply not tell them he went to the wedding. If they ask him if he went to the wedding he should say why no of course not.
what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Blondie: do you know if it's an unwritten rule they are going by or their OWN personal feelings on the matter?
I would think that if the privledges are sooo important to him he could certainly appeal the decision or beg (cough) for forgivness and get them back.
from reading this site i've learned that jws frown up buying used clothing etc.
from second hand stores because of possible 'demonization.
' my neighbors are jw and i notice that they have fairly frequent garage sales.
I personally have never seen a object that was demonized. while I do believe they exist. I don't think they inhabit objects such as record albums, jewlery furniture or old clocks. I think they have better things to do then wait for someone to pick them up at garage sales and take them home.
Ps: have you noticed they haven't been any stories about a cassette tape or a cd being demonized. Or maybe they just don't talk to me about it anymore. lol

Let us weight the options here: Daughters wedding vs: counting others peoples $$.
Daughter = someone he and his wife created out of love.
Privledges = counting $$ for the boys club.
Too F'ing bad for the boy's club.
I wouldn't miss my daughters wedding for the world.
does anyone here have any medical issues that are still bothering them today because they weren't corrected before 1975 because the new system was coming?
why bothering correcting them when you'll be perfect in a few years?!?!?!.
it's one thing for the light to grow brighter, but another thing for it to be blinking on and off.
Well Purplesofa, I get differing opinions from different doctors. some say it won't a difference now, some say worse pain could develop. who knows for sure. I just have a big chip on my shoulder about it.
DaCheech: I can't believe that they wouldn't think to help their child if it happened to them. Just show them that scripture that says "what father sees what is good for his child and doesn't give it to them". You know the older I get the more some people irritate me.
i would love to have the george benson kingdom songs.
but i've searched win mx for two weeks now and no luck.
can anybody point me in the right direction?

some of them know the story. I am not as regular as the "good witnesses". I can miss the meeting for 2 moths straight and no one comes over to visit or calls. But if any elder ever asks me why I don't turn in more field service time. I will certainly tell them why. I think they don't believe me that I am in pain because I am not old, I don't look my age. A young person shouldn't have these problems at least in their mind.

Purple Sofa: I don't know I don't talk to mom. She's a mess. only one of her four kids talk to her.

Ok well since nobody wants to go first I guess I will. Here's part of my story. I was born in 1970. I started walking toward the end of 1970. My mom noticed something strange about how I walked. She took me to the doctor, and found out that I had a hip defect. So they put me in a cast hoping that would correct it. it didn't. The next option was surgery which would not have been a big deal to perform on a 1yr old then the rest of my walking life would have been smooth sailing. But no mom decided not to do the surgery because guess what this old system was going to end in 1975. I remember hearing my whole life well you weren't even supposed to go to kindergarten.
So now all these years later it's finally caught up with me. I've limped all my life. Now having that defect has thorwn off my back and the way I sit. My tail bone is in extreme pain when I sit. I can't walk around just one grocery store without getting tired for the rest of the day. This makes sitting for two hours during the meeting very uncomfortable, let alone service being painful.
Now at this time in my life if I had surgery it would be quite an ordeal, and other unexpected problems could arise from it.
All this because some men on the east coast can't do the math right.
